CHATTOGRAM, Feb 12: Over the eviction, there was a large-scale altercation in Chittagong citys New Market neighbourhood between hawkers and police.

At roughly 4 pm on Monday, the whole area was turned into a battlefield for this conflict. After pursuing the matter for thirty minutes, the issue was under control.

During the clash a hawker sustained bullet injuries while four others including three policemen were injured.

Obaidul Haque, officer-in-charge of Kotwali Police Station, said a team of police went to the New Market area to evict hawkers as per the directives of the city corporation authorities around 4 pm.

Witnesses said when the police and executive magistrates were evicting some hawkers, a group of hawkers gathered there.

A chase and counter chase took place among them, triggering a clash that turned the New Market area into a battlefield.

The hawkers hurled brick chips targeting police, prompting them to take action.
